Beloved By Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, This Industry-Favorite Laser Is The Best Skin Care Investment You Can Make
Next-level skin care, right at home.
If you’re investing in expensive face serums and eye creams without giving that same attention to your neck and décolleté, your skin care routine is majorly missing out. As Dr. Graeme Glass, a craniofacial, aesthetic, and plastic surgeon explains, “The face and neck cannot and should not be thought of as two separate entities.” Just as it impacts the skin on your face, the decrease in collagen production that naturally occurs as you age leads to less elasticity in the skin on your neck as well. To help keep your neck (and face) looking smooth and firm without turning to surgical procedures, LYMA introduced its at-home laser, which the brand notes is the most powerful device of its kind — though the treatments can be completed in mere minutes right at home.
At $2,695, the LYMA Laser is certainly an investment. But when you consider that in-office laser treatments will set you back around $1,500 per session on average, it will save you money in the long run (especially as the LYMA Laser comes with a two-year warranty and boasts a 10-year lifespan). It’s also worth pointing out that while some in-office treatments can cause discomfort and have a recovery period, the LYMA Laser is completely painless with zero downtime. Curious about how it works? Keep reading to learn about the laser’s advanced technology, how to use it, and when you’ll start to notice results.
What Makes The LYMA Laser So Effective?
At its core, the LYMA Laser is a device that uses light energy to stimulate collagen production. While traditional laser skin resurfacing does this by removing the top layer of skin to trigger a repair response (hence why it’s an in-office treatment that should always be operated by a professional), the LYMA Laser encourages skin cell rejuvenation without causing any damage to the skin. It also differs from LED devices, which target the top layers of the skin only, as the LYMA Laser’s targeted light (known as coherent light) is able to penetrate through all of the layers of the skin without losing any of its strength in the process. Originally developed as a medical laser, the LYMA Laser is a chargeable at-home device that’s 100 times more powerful than LED devices because it penetrates deeper into the skin without losing its strength.
As it reaches the base level of the skin to signal skin cell regeneration and boost collagen and elastin production, the LYMA Laser is able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and fade the appearance unwanted scarring, hyperpigmentation, and dark circles with continued use. Despite its strength, the laser device, which has been praised by industry professionals and celebrities like dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and facialist Joanna Czech, can be used by all skin tones, is FDA-cleared, and is even safe to use around the eyes without goggles.
How Do I Use The LYMA Laser?
When you purchase the LYMA Laser Starter Kit, you’ll be sent two additional products designed to be used alongside the laser: LYMA’s Oxygen Mist and LYMA’s Oxygen Glide. There aren’t any complicated steps or tricks to using the laser, but before you get started, you’ll want to thoroughly read through all of the directions and familiarize yourself with the brand’s quick tutorials on YouTube (you’ll find step-by-step guides for every area of the face and body you’d wish to treat).
The key is to always work slowly, holding the laser so that it’s touching the skin, but without applying pressure. LYMA notes that you can also target specific areas by holding the device in place for three minutes.
When Can I Expect To See Results?
You’ll need to use the LYMA Laser for a minimum of three minutes each day, with the brand noting that you could begin to see improvement in just a few weeks. However, the 12-week mark is when you can really expect to experience visible results in terms of an improvement in skin firmness and a reduced appearance of unwanted hyperpigmentation.
To enhance your results, after each at-home laser treatment, follow up with your skin care products of choice — making sure to include your neck and chest area, too. “Don’t draw a line at the jawline,” says facialist and LYMA fan Nichola Joss, adding that “skin care should start at the hairline and end at the nipples.”
